Connexin43 enhances the expression of osteoarthritis-associated genes in synovial fibroblasts in culture

BACKGROUND: Recent work has shown that the gap junction protein connexin43 (Cx43) is upregulated in cells of the joint during osteoarthritis (OA). Here we examined if the OA-associated increase in Cx43 expression impacts the function of synovial fibroblasts by contributing to the production of catab...
